You nailed it with this list 100%! They have so many simple yet effective riffs on pretty much every album, even if I like some albums more than others. I think in particular their first 3 albums and Era Vulgaris have their best straight up stoner rock/metal riffs, and anything afterwords is more ambiguous riff-wise with more going on with singing and added instrumentation and stuff: for example, I love the title track to Like Clockwork, but there's no riff lol

Edit: i also gotta add that for me Queens isnt just about their riffs, which are awesome, but just how they all play off each other to syncopate their grooves, and how they embellish their riffs with all other cool guitar nuances like pedal steel, slide guitar, the strummed nylons in First it Giveth, all the crazy whale squeals in Song for the Deaf, just little things like that really elevate their songs. Song for the Dead is so rad. I didnt really notice the tritones in the power chords at first either until i heard it several times and started learning it
